Extend the national minimum wage to self-employed workers

Petition Details

I would like the Government to extend the national minimum wage to the self-employed, as this currently only applies to employees, meaning the self-employed can be paid less than the minimum wage, and have no right to recourse under minimum wage legislation.

Additional Information

I am self-employed but work through agencies, and after agency fees and commission I earn around £7 per hour. I am 40 years old, and believe it is unacceptable that self-employed workers are not protected by minimum wage legislation.
